I don't feel like explaining what happened at the fucking boat shaped friendship circle- or BSFC- as it's being referred to. Beautiful Serene Frolicking Children- As Tobi is calling it- is that what they're calling drugs these days? I want whatever he's on!

Anyway, moving on, the BSFC started with rum. And ended with rum. Hehe. Rum is a great way to bring people closer. Way closer. But not too close that it's sexual. That's what tequila is for. Tequila or Vodka. Whichever works. I don't think I need to say anymore about BSFC… use your imagination. No, Tami. Not your imagination!

Let's get back to this story shall we?

The whole pack- Maddy, Mira, Katie, and I- were all sitting cross-legged facing the wall. Maddy heaved a sigh, "How much longer does this have to drag on?"

"I don't know and I'm not turning around to find out." Mira stated.

Katie and I nodded.

Explanation time everyone! Ok, so 4 hours ago the male members of Akatsuki decided to play poker since I taught them how to play. But they added a stomach wrenching twist: Strip Poker cue dramatic music country fiddle plays no! DRAMATIC MUSIC!! disc record screeches dramatic music
Why are people so fucking useless?! God! I just lost my place. Ok… found it. Strip Poker. 4 hours. We were about to start our own game of Russian Roulette to end this nightmare when…

"I have to pee," I said.

There was a gasp, "How… you can't leave without getting mentally scarred for life!" Maddy said.

"I don't know, but I don't think I can hold it for much longer…"

There was silence then Katie spoke up, "Just go then."

Oh. You haven't met Katie. Katie Fossum. A close friend of mine since 7th grade when she inexplicably joined the pack and next to riding horses, she likes to be violet… like tackling and accidental deaths and such…

And you didn't meet much about Maddy. Maddy… I can't remember her last name… it'll come to me later though… anyway, Maddy is your average punk. Skinny black jeans, black and white striped short sleeved shirt, fishnet sleeves, converse, bleached white hair with a black two toned. She's extremely happy a lot and makes random noises that scare people sometimes. She's also the tallest, but smaller than Cameron. Tall for an 8th grade girl that is.

Moving on. I looked at Katie, "How the hell am I supposed to do that?"

"Get. Up. And. Go."



I sighed, "Easier said than done."

"Here," She said throwing her hat at me.

"Oh I see!" I placed to hat on just right that I couldn't look left or right. Just down.

She nodded, "Now go pee."

I jumped to my feet and started to the door, and it worked! I made it down the stairs, but walked into a table, bruising my side.

"HEY! IT WORKED!!" I yelled from the guest bathroom.

I heard cheering.

"Hey! I'm home!" I turned and saw Cameron walking in through the front door.

"Oh. Fuck." I panicked. If he went upstairs and saw semi-naked ninja in my bedroom, along with everyone else, what would he think…? Actually… what would anyone suspect?

"We're all in here!" I lied.

He walked in with his green army uniform on , placing his car keys down on the counter, he did a double take at me, "No. It's just you… were's Mira, Maddy, and Katie?"

"Not upstairs?" I shrugged.

"Right ok. Downstairs?"

I shrugged again.

"I'm gonna go check."

"K."

When he left, I darted upstairs crashing through the door, "Cameron's home early!"

"Shit!" Maddy cursed.

"At 6? Doesn't he get home at like 1 in the morning?" Katie asked.

"Usually," I answered.

"Well, is he coming up?" Maddy went to turn around, but I made a random piping noise and she froze, "Right… Sorry…"

I turned to the Akatsuki, the hat covering my eyes, "I can't tell, and I'm not going to check, but whoever is undressed, needs to like, get dressed like now!"



"But the games not over…" I heard one say.

"Oh fucking well!" I snapped.

"You swear too much…" I recognized Hidan's voice.

"Oh, and you don't?" Sasori said.

There was silence. I threw my hands up, "Just get dressed!!"

"Alright. Alright. Just don't hurt us!"

"Oh trust me, if Cameron finds you, I won't be the one doing the hurting…" I said.

"Skye, I didn't find them!" Cameron called.

"Crap. Quick, get into the attic!" I ran to my closet and pulled a switch and a stair case fell from the ceiling, "Get up there!"

I heard shuffling footsteps as they climbed the stairs up. I then pulled the switch and closed it. I heard Cameron coming up the stairs.

"Wait! I still need to get up!" I looked up to see Tobi standing at the base where the staircase was.

"Dammit Tobi!"

"Skye? Who are you talking to?" Cameron said.

"We'll stall him," Mira said, now finding it safe to stand up and stretch out.

I nodded, "Alright. Tobi, find a place to hide."

"Like where!!"

Cameron was getting closer. I peered into the bathroom and saw the tub still full of bubbley water. I wrinkled my brow.

Cameron walked into the room, seeing Maddy, Katie and Mira he was relieved, "Ok. Now where is Skye?"

"I'm in here!" I called from the bathroom. I had quickly changed into my bathing suit and submerged everything except my head into the soapy water. I had my legs sticking out the other end of the tub, but the thing was, they weren't my legs…

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Oh you know, just taking a bath!"



"Well, ok then," He glanced at me, "Don't forget to shave… it seems like you haven't shaved in years…"

"You know me! My hair grows like weeds!"

"Riiiiight…" He gave me that 'awkward' stare before turning on his heels and heading downstairs.

I sighed and shifted my weight. Tobi came up gasping for breath. He jumped out of the tub, covered in soapy water and I slid out after him.

"Here, take these to wear until your clothes dry," Mira said taking some of Cameron's clothes out of the hamper.

He took them then I left to let him change.

"Oh. My. God." Was all I could say after I wrapped a towel around myself.

"That was quick thinking there," Mira said.

I nodded.

"Where'd you think of that…?" Maddy asked.

"Oh, I watched that Aquamarine movie last night… it was really weird, but will girly movies like that, you pick up a few things," I answered.

"So you learn to drown people in the bathtub?"

"Hey! He did not die if you recall!" I snapped.

"Yeah. True." She answered.

Tobi came out wearing Cameron, 'Pearl Harbor, Hawaii' T-shirt and his black sweatpants.

"Now don't you look spiffy!" Mira clapped her hands, "And they actually fit!"

"I still don't get why I jumped into the tub with you… I could have just hidden in the closet…" Tobi sighed, examining the clothes in my mirror.

"Well, why didn't you say something?!" I asked.

"I thought you'd just come up with it on your own," He said.

I shook my head, "Well, the tub was the only thing that hit me at the time."

Tobi sighed, "You owe me a nickel."

"WHAT?! I DO NOT! IT WAS MINE!!"



"But I found it first!" He whined.

"But it was my room!" I argued.

"But finder's keepers!"

"I got to it first, so there! No more discussion!"

"I hate you." He crossed his arms like a stubborn 4 year old.

I sighed, "Yeah like I haven't gotten that before…"

"I also hate you for putting me in the tub."

"Well, then what did we learn?" I asked in a 1st Grade teacher voice.

"Move faster next time?" He guessed

"WRONG!! DON'T PLAY STRIP POKER IN MY HOUSE!!"
